AtoZ of Healthy Small Business

SMALL BUSINESSES are the backbone of many countries around the world. Small business owners often end up starting their businesses with no training, experience or support. Where do they turn to for help? The challenges facing small business owners are many and varied— they have to provide exceptional customer service; find, train and retain staff; deal with the banks, insurance companies and the taxation office; not to mention try to focus on strategic issues. Sometimes it seems as if small businesses encounter every challenge from A to Z! Amer Qureshi has lived out the dream of building his own business, and fallen in love with the process. He is now helping numerous others to do the same: “My aim in writing this book was to motivate and inspire people to improve their lives and their businesses. In small business your personal and business affairs are intertwined. Small business is not a job—it’s a vocation and a way of life.” Amer’s holistic approach to business and personal issues in small business also deals with stress management and balancing work with family life, along with his sensible ideas on goal-based business operations and financial management. The A to Z of Healthy Small Business also introduces readers to Amer’s unique Qcool steps to success and will provide a breath of fresh air and inspiration for any business.
